The 2.2 million still applies if we decide to do nothing, and go back to business as normal and treat it like the flu.

Honestly, I think Fauci knows the total will be more than 100-200k, he's just warming the country up to the idea frown


If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

I guess if one is a "numbers guy" its a good job..

What next, there were only 5000 lynchings, or only 35,000 traffic deaths, only 6,000,000 gassings, etc?

These are people, some really good folk, with families, that die a horrible death, often all alone, etc

I don't hear any sincere "caring", just "as long a it doesn't effect me" thinking.

We know one definitive way to stop this in its tracks, but The DJ and everybody's wallet is apparently more important.

Prepare to explain this in-action to your maker, sometime in the future, or what a "good job" you did.




All I'll say is...shame shame shame to a number of certain folks out there, they will pay.....in the end. tsk

so what about all the good folks dying from the flu every year? shruggy
24,000 of them in the US so far this year... 80,000 a few years ago during a big spike.
Or the MILLIONS that are never even given the chance to be Born?

I don't think the Doc... was looking at it as "doing a good job"....
He was looking at it as "Trying to tone down the sensationalism & panic" being tossed out by some in the media

The only way some folk will will ever learn is if it smacks them in the forehead and yells "Wake the phuck up". It may take one of their love one getting hit by this virus to understand that this is "NO JOKE".

Oh ... I heard from someone at the Dr Baden site ... they/he said ... not retired. I would imagine he gets a bunch of emails so a short response like that I don’t consider curt or rude. I did ask in return if he participated in any autopsy of a virus death ... have yet to hear back.

I’m wondering if most of the immunity FIGHT is going on in the lungs .... MAYBE they should be looking into meds that could be INHALED??

Apparently the Spanish Flu (nothing to do with Spain) was mostly spread by returning troops huddled up in troop ships and in huge army camps all over Europe waiting to return home, plus with poor diets and conditions immune systems were affected.

Nat'l Institute of Health <- Click
the above is a link to a page regularly updated with research info (not news stories). It takes some reading and also following links for those inclined to find facts.
The below Link : is to the agency headed by Dr Fauci: click -> Nat'l Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
There is a LOT of information and biased reporting going on. I find it good to research and develop my opinion from the source, others may too. I've bookmarked those sites and check them occasionally.
dOC F - I believe arbuterol (sp?) is prescribed to people first dx with the virus. It's an inhaler and it only helps open up the lung passageways. The medical professionals work quietly in their labs coming up with treatments and vaccinations. I do not believe there is, or may ever be, "a cure" only treatments to help with symptoms and hopefully some day a vaccine that will help people make antibodies that prevent "catching" th virus. Much of this info is in the first part of the thread.

And yet to spread to the far corners of the Earth, including remote Alaskan Eskimo villages that didn’t have ANYBODY COME IN OR OUT. Village didn’t even have migratory birds. Source...”Flu” by Gina Kolata. It’s spread is not understood, to this day.

You missed the point, its doesn't require a degree of at any level to have bias, and integrity is also not a requirement. Defending OJ when not a lawyer, says to me a person has/had a proven selective morality, that money and/or fame can influence, IMO


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

And nursing homes...

Lots of people in daily continuous close proximity to each other and in the case of a nursing home, lots of potential for contamination from outside the group to stew there.

Some people are just not capable of that. A chemical imbalance prevents them from understanding.

War bond rallies.
War Bond Parades.
Special War Bond movies followed by sales pitches.
Even in modest sized towns, members of the CPI (Committee for Public Instruction) visiting homes at night ganging up on individuals asking why they had not yet bought a War Bond?

When thinking about the spread of the 1918 influenza in the USA do not leave out War Bonds.

President Wilson was advised by his own MD of the danger of bring masses of people together to sell them War Bonds during the Influenza. Wilson did it anyway.

If Wilson had simply raised taxes to fund the war this would not have happened.
